Rustoleum paint

[John D.]

My helper found a rattle can paint that is unbelievable. Rustoleum Automotive Black Gloss. Also comes semi gloss, etc.
Don't pour the paint on. Just dust it and see the magic results. Flows out to show condition. Try it. JD

I agree also their professional in a quart can is very good and the shine is pretty spot on.

They "WERE" also making a right -on semi-flat up until a couple yrs. ago. Unfortunately , with the VOC laws the formula was changed.

John,
Absolutly right, thats all I use on the A/C compressors I do. It does great on brackets and every thing else under the hood. I will say that it only does well out of the sun's rays. I used it on exposed parts and it oxidized. It holds it's selected gloss under the hood forever.
I am using Rustoliums engine enamel also with great results. Also their redish brown primer is great under the paint as it reduces the amount needed to get coverage. I have used the primer under engine enamel for years and heat does not effect it.

Re: Rustoleum paint

Not sure what is happening to No.: 7777 Rustoleum. This is "Satan Black". Getting harder to find now and wonder if the formula has
changed. This is a very popular paint with the restorers I know. Anybody know about this?? Larry

Re: Rustoleum paint

It changed for sure---Luckily , I ordered 3 cases before it did---should be a lifetime supply----

If it was "Satan Black" I'd change the name and formula too if I were them. I'd probably make it Satin Black, but that's just me.

Re: Rustoleum paint

Larry,
I found Rustolium satin black at the hardware store here in CA. I was told that the larger cans (not rattle) have changed their formula but the rattle cans are the old formula. That does not make production sence unless it is a state restriction on quantity being used.
We are not allowed to paint inside at the airport, has to be outside and has a limit of 1 gallon per day. My shop is on the airport.

Re: Rustoleum paint

One other positive with the paint is the ease with which it touches up and blends.

Really helpful when doing a body on type restoration piece meal.

I wish they made this in hi-temp Chevy Orange.

Re: Rustoleum paint

is the "satin black" a semi-gloss or semi-flat?

Re: Rustoleum paint

Frederick You might want to check with them about shelf life. When I had a problem with their paint doing some wheels the first thing they asked for was the date code. Then told me old paint will sometimes crinkle up.Terrt

Re: Rustoleum paint

Neither -I found the satin to be right in between semi gloss and semi flat.
